THE NEW YEAR.
FRIENDS OF THE c. C.: We have travelled past
the journey shortened for all Of us. IN one sense
the thought will come sadly home 10 Us all and yet
4 think there must be few hearts who have not
experienced at times a feeling Of relief AT the
thought that this life not 10 last always. There
are surely times when our hearts sink beneath re-
precision, and limitation, and defeat; beneath the
cares that rasp, and harrow. and gnaw; Che bur-
dens thai Cypress and wear and crush us. and the
haunting conseousneas OF the contrast bet,yi Il the
life that is with the life that might he.
Our souls shrink sometimes from the strain and
stress from the petty wearing details Of living, and
Al il hard enough for the best of us 10 keep our
selves la still heroic patience. Our feet come up
sometimes into the mountains of exaltatiOn and
ecstacy, but they yield constantly 10 the moral
Rraviiation of this world and slide downwards
And ID is not 20 be wondered at that draw a long
breath sometimes and think well, il won't be FOR
alwaysn No, we shall find that out some of these
days when we hear the voice of the angel of death
and the irritation and impatience are all over, and
we look our last look on the world that has seemed
sometimes very hard and bitter 10 us.

selves II not ID certainly should be- The o.
incompetencss and unworthiness which carry

and makes life exceedingly hard. But let us bs

tern of lives for the year that is dead and gone
10 s burial LET us hold IL up 20 the light and shake
ID out. Full of flaws and imperfeciioDs it will
surely prove but hiding il ia the darkness will moi
make the Tact any better, and the light will disclose
all the faults and show us where 10 avoid them in
future. At least let strive 20 make some iun
